Your well-being is the most important education you will ever receive in the school of life! 

Flowing and Growing Through Life

Everything is energy and energy is transforming. Nature shows us this time and time again. One season gently transforming to the next season, daylight into the darkness of night, windy storms settling into stillness. A fallen leaf eventually becomes part of the earth, a fallen pine cone becomes food or a seed, a seed becomes a tree or a flower. What may seem like the end is actually the becoming of something new. Energy transforming. Energy becoming. Who have you become? Who are you becoming? Life has a way of bringing up this question again and again as we confront both daily challenges and life-changing events.

What if who you are becoming, or hope to become, is also about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you so you can discover, or re-discover, your true nature and how you want to show up in life no matter what obstacles may appear – in health, relationships, or other life circumstances.

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.” ~Wendell Berry

The word university is derived from the Latin word universus, meaning “whole, entire.” Mindful Kindful YOUniversity (MK YOU) is the study of YOU and your whole-being on this journey of life. Learn and practice how to navigate and flow through life moment to moment in a healthy, balanced, and positive way for mental and physical health and well-being.

Through MK YOU’s sound healing and nature-based, trauma-informed mindfulness lessons, experiences, and practices you will learn pragmatic, simple evidence-based practices to navigate the ups and downs of daily living to positively support you in responding to life as it is — the good stuff, the tough stuff, all of it — with grace and the skills to be mindful, kindful, and peaceful  ~ the foundation for greater strength, resilience, health, and happiness. 

Well-being is a skill and all skills require practice!

Come learn, practice, and grow with us! Mindful Kindful YOuniversity offers these nourishing services to support you: Sound Healing / Drum Circles / Retreats

Our YOUniversity programs and offerings have been shifting and transforming. In 2017 I was inspired to launch Mindful Kindful YOUniversity to share mindfulness and well-being programs to make a positive impact on the lives of children, and adults, in our schools and communities while addressing the challenges youth (and adults) face in school and in life, which interfere with learning, relationships, and mental health & well-being. In 2022,  I needed to return to working full time (in the traditional sense) which meant letting go of my in-school programs and putting the development  of my virtual “Mindful Explorers” youth program on pause.  In so doing, I was reminded of the incredible challenges of working in the public education system and and my focus has turned to offering Sound Bathing, Drum Circles, and Retreats for self-care, relaxation, and healing for adults.
